Tank Assembly problems of the 2006 Chrysler 300

Ref. Nhtsa pe13016 "faulty fuel tanks" make: Chrysler; model: 300 limited; component: fuel delivery system. Every time we re-fuel the car to the "full" level, the car hesitates and stalls. On two separate occasions, this stalling has resulted in an potential collision with another vehicle being avoided only by astute driver intervention. The first occurrence was in September 2015 and has consistently repeated during every refueling since. No research or attempt to have it diagnosed or repaired has been successful. Chrysler corporation has no notification of this problem being associated with the provided VIN number and states that they can do nothing until such a notice is received. I am requesting your intervention on my behalf by notifying Chrysler corporation of this reported and known public safety issue and concern with the fuel delivery system. Once documented, I can arrange to have the necessary repairs made before any other emergency situations are experienced thereby preventing injury to my wife and/or myself or any other individuals involved in a preventable accident. Thank you for the courtesy of your time and the quick acknowledgement of receipt.

2006 Chrysler 300. Consumer writes in regards to parts not available to complete airbag inflator and fuel tank malfunction recall notices.

I bought the 2006 Chrysler 300c new in 2007 and it worked fine until mid 2013. One day after getting off the freeway I pulled into a gas station and filled the car with gas. In about 1-2 minutes after leaving the station the car bucked then stalled. It took several attempts to get it started. This situation has happened over and over again. It came to a head this week when I went to the gas station filled the tank and soon after leaving it stalled in traffic -I restarted it after almost causing an accident got going and it stalled again. I restarted with great difficulty and entered the on ramp----as I was building speed it stalled for the third time in less than 5 minutes and this time I was so close to an accident. Now I have been to two dealerships and replaced numerous parts including the canister, some oil temp/pressure sensor, cleaned injectors,replaced plugs, a coil and too many to mention. The people at the dealership look at me like I am smoking crack ever time I complain. It wasn't until yesterday that I looked on the internet to find there are others with the same problem---I am not crazy. How do I get this fixed???.

For the 5th time in 12 months, my 2006 Chrysler 300c stalled after filling up at a gas station, nearly causing an accident. I previously brought it to a mechanic who did a tune up, new spark plugs, and even replaced valve lifters to try to resolve this issue, to no avail. I finally did a google search and see that many other people have this problem. It is ridiculous to me that this has not been a recall, as it is very dangerous to stall when pulling out into traffic after filling up the tank with gas.

I was driving back home from atlanta and I stopped to fill up in macon. As I drove up the entrance ramp to I-75 the car stalled leaving me partially on the hi-way. A semi narrowly avoided rear ending me. After a few seconds the car started and I drove away. This is the 3rd time this has happened. A mechanic told me this is common on this type of car and the only fix is a new gas tank, which is very expensive.

I'm writing this because I believe that these 300s with hemis are death traps waiting to happen and strongly feel that a recall is necessary. It's happened about 8 times since we bought the vehicle in July, 2013 but the latest was last week, Saturday, March 8, 2014 at about 11:30pm. My husband, my 6 mo baby, and myself had just filled up the gas tank on our way home. We were making a right turn out of the gas station and onto the main road, when the car went completely dead. The engine shut down and the steering wheel locked up. My husband had to put the car in park and, after about 3 attempts and a good 20 seconds or so, he finally got the car started. It spurted a little but started to move. About a mile later, we were pulling onto our street, when the car died again and did the exact same thing. Lucky for us there weren't many cars on the street and everyone was alright but this is not safe! this has happened in the middle of the day when oncoming traffic was going full speed, at least 45 mph!! someone can die! after this latest incident, I've refused to drive the car due to it's unreliability and our car is currently at the dealership and has been for the past 2 days-going on 3. It took the service manager 2 days to figure out it's a faulty gas tank and that's after we told him about the NHTSA investigation, action number: pe13016, which just ended, February 10, 2014. Apparently, Chrysler extended it's warranty to cover gas tanks for a lifetime but, not for all Chrysler 300s! we are being charged $1,905 for our gas tank to be replaced, which should be eligible for a lifetime warranty on our fuel tank but I called Chrysler today and they told me that there is no extended warranty attached to our VIN. Please help before someone gets seriously injured and recall all gas tanks or at least extend the warranty to cover more, if not all Chrysler 300s!!.

Not able to fill gas tank to full. If filled to full mark or allowed for gas station pump to automatically shut off at full. The vehicle will stall after a few blocks. This will happen 3-5 times before you can continue. This can happen at different speeds and is very dangerous. This started early 2012 and will do this at every full fill up. It has happened more than 15 times. I can not have a full tank anymore. I have owned the vehicle since 2010 and had 30k miles on it. It never had the problem till 2011 or about 60k miles.

After refueling the vehicle has started stalling. It stalls on and off until the tank is below 3/4 of a tank. It happens 9 out of 10 times.
